I really like the way this was written, though I am very sorry you had to grow up like that. I hope you can find a way to see life through different vision.
since your a writer I'm sure you see many visions of the world yet the one hard vision ever keeps returning
until we see it in a different light. there are many things we except yet we do not have to. so many times we are touched and do not feel, spoken to and do not here, then all of a sudden one day: BOOM! ok now I get it. my best to you-katie :) :)

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate your taking the time to read my work.

Terrifically well written. Most genuine. Sure this speaks most clearly and painfully for many.

If you have not done so already, read my "Love Intended #1 & #2." Expresses similar sentiments. About a different life experience which can produce the same unhappy results.

Some of us, sometimes, have to get away from our biological families. At times we are only "channeling", by way of osmosis, the negative emotions of others who have 1st directed these same destructive emotions at us.

Often we are never aware that this is happening because we have misplaced our trust and affection in them. All because of the family or kinship tie. It just seems unthinkable to many that they would be so mistreated by someone they were raised to trust and love.

Happens all the time though.

Happier trails,

Ed Bradley.

Thank you for your insightful comments and I will definitely read Love Intended. Sadly, for some, Blood is not thicker than water. Thanks again
